Marie Rogers
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist · Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
"I'm not the expert on you. You are. I'm here to help you hear yourself more clearly."
I bring more than a decade of experience helping children, teens, and adults gain greater self-awareness and insight. My work centers on empowering those who habitually prioritize others to reconnect with their own needs.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and capable — often the steady one others rely on, even when they're quietly overwhelmed. I help people make sense of patterns that no longer feel aligned. Meaningful change happens when we feel understood, supported, and safe enough to be honest.
As a trauma-informed, strength-based therapist, I'm mindful of how early experiences shape the ways we cope and connect. In our work, we explore what may be keeping you stuck and gently open up new ways of relating to yourself and others.
How We Work Together
Change happens through connection, not pressure. My approach is relational and psychodynamic at its core — meaning we pay attention to patterns, the therapeutic relationship itself, and how early experiences continue to shape the present. My work is rooted in trust, respect, and empathy. We often repeat what we don't have space to understand. When experiences go unexplored, life can feel overwhelming or disconnected.
Together, we make space for more of you to be present — without that familiar cringe when someone asks what you want. Over time, moments that once overwhelmed you begin to feel steadier, and you have more room to choose how you respond.
There's no rush. With curiosity and compassion, we explore what once helped you cope but may no longer serve you. Some sessions focus on reflection; others include practical tools to support steadiness and regulation. The pace is thoughtful and responsive to what you need.
Training & Licensure
My training and background inform the relational, trauma-informed approach I bring to my work. I trained in community-based nonprofits, schools, and outpatient settings.
